Description: Unsuitable for Ladies : An Anthology of Women Travellers, Paperback by Robinson, Jane (EDT), ISBN 0192802011, ISBN-13 9780192802019, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Real ladies do not travel--or so it was once said. This collection of womens travel writing dispels that notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by women travelers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, that have
not been met and overcome by these women.
Life is never dull for Jane Robinsons intrepid women. From an encounter with a snake in the Amazon jungle to shipwreck and kidnap on the Barbary Coast, this book includes tales of derring-do and great danger. It also tells tales of unimaginable hardship, including caring for a family in an
ammunition cart during the siege of Delhi and a journey through Tibet that leaves its author childless and widowed.
There is no such thing as a typical woman traveler--and there never has been--as this exhilarating anthology shows on a journey of its own through sixteen centuries of travel writing. So get ready for adventure and excitement with some of the most extraordinary characters you are ever likely to
meet
